That’s not just Charlotte, that is everywhere. It has to do with the sanctity of life being more important than possessions and the rule of law over vigilante justice.
The homeowner can blast the perp if he is under immediate threat. He can’t track him down after the threat is passed and execute him, appointing himself as judge, jury and executioner. He needs to go through the proper law channels.
And theft of some jewelry and wallet does not merit capitol punishment in any jurisdiction.

You somehow forgot about the kidnapping and 2nd degree assault.
Those don't merit capital punishment either but they certainly merit a reaction and elimination of the threat.

It is not illegal to ask for your stolen property back and it IS legal to defend yourself. He went to get his stuff, not to deliberatly kill them as revenge. That is my take anyway. Hopefully a jury agrees.

“And theft of some jewelry and wallet does not merit capital punishment in any jurisdiction”.
This was not “theft”. It was a home invasion and armed robbery. Try that in Texas and the victem can chase your ass all the way to the next County and shoot you in an attempt to recover the jewelry and wallet. Perfectly legal.
(As it should be).
BTW, are you some kind of Pussy?
